In response to the rising number of mobile devices in the workplace, Dell has announced the newest release of the Dell SonicWALL secure mobile access solution for managed and unmanaged BYOD devices. This combines the SonicWALL Mobile Connect 3.0 application and SonicWALL secure remote access (SRA) series appliance 7.5.
The Mobile Connect app enables administrators to configure and enforce security policies. Devices are interrogated for essential security information such as jailbreak or root status, device ID, certificate status, and OS versions prior to granting access. If a device fails to meet meet policy requirements its network access is blocked and the user is notified.
The new release of Dell’s secure mobile access solution ensures that only authorised users and devices meeting security policy are granted network access, and that an organisation’s data in-flight and at rest on the device is secure.
The SonicWALL secure remote access appliance consolidates network access control of all web resources, file shares and client-server resources into a single location.
The Mobile Connect app is available for free download from the Apple Store, Google Play, the Kindle Store, and embedded with Windows 8.1 tablets and laptops.
Dell SRA series appliances are available through the channel and Dell sales. Mobile Connect for Mac OS X will be available in Q2 2014.
